The hostel is centrally located, just a few minutes' walk from Elephant and Castle tube station, making it easy to travel to anywhere in the city.

The Tower Hotel, by Thistle

8/10 Good

"The location of this hotel is excellent right next to the Tower of London andbthe Thames. Whilst the room was very comfortable unfortunately the shower drain could not cope with the shower flow which led to water lying all pver the bathroom floor. We made reception aware when we left and they said the6 would look into it straight away."

Otherwander Soho Pod Hotel (ADULTS ONLY)

10/10 Excellent

"Pods are bigger than you realise. Clean and comfortable stay. Plenty of showers and toilets. Relatively quiet throughout the night, same noise level you'd get in a normal hotel with occasional doors closing etc."

Strand Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Definitely recommend! Place is exactly like the pictures."

Royal Garden Hotel

8/10 Good

"Rooms are not supplied with DND signs. Every morning starting at 8:30 am we got repeated knocks on the door from room service. Despite saying ‘no thanks’ they were back again 15 minutes later. On the last day (of 3) we had late checkout arranged and still they were knocking on the door 90 minutes before we had to vacate the room. In this day and age of smart phones this should not be happening!!"

Bluedaws Private Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a really good budget hotel in a central area with lots of amenities. The staff are super friendly and make you feel very welcome. There is the added bonus of a cooked breakfast of bacon and eggs. The rooms are basic but perfectly adequate for a short stay. The communal bathroom is kept very clean and the shower is good with plenty of hot water. I would definately stay here again."

Bob W London Hyde Park

"Great location and value. The room was great and the staff helpful."

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus

8/10 Good

"One night stay with 4 adults/4 children. Didn't spend much time in the room but the beds and layout was ideal for what we needed. Not much room to get ready but knew that when booking. Only issue was the air conditioning not working, it was boiling all night, no windows and 8 people in the room!"
